"With today’s announcement, Dell is enabling customers to invest in the technology required to keep up with increasing performance demands placed on their networks," said Amit Midha, director of enterprise, marketing and sales for Dell Asia-Pacific and Japan.

Midha also commented that with the continued convergence of bandwidth-intensive applications onto networks, customers are starting to invest in technologies such as Gigabit Ethernet(2) to future-proof their networks. "Dell PowerConnect switches complement the Gigabit Ethernet technology already available in our business-class servers and desktop and notebook computers. Now customers can afford to take advantage of this performance from the wiring closet or data center all the way to the desktop," Midha concluded.
